I am hoping you will share what programs you use (both free and commercial) to find long tail keywords. Thanks
Just use google external to find long tail keywords. or you can even do a broad search on google and on the bottom of the results google will suggestions on long tail words..pretty useful cus it shows you what people are searching for.
Wordtracker and google keyword tool could be really handy hor long tail keywords. But yeah you gotta work hard to find them which really converts it.
I like using the free tool on keyworddiscovery.com for this, seems to give better suggestions for longer tail keywords than Googles keyword tool.
If you have a site already that's bringing some traffic, hittail.com is invaluable in winkling out long tails that you already have that are underexploited by you.
